User reviews

Does not keep accurate time

The app did not reflect an accurate race time when compared to a watch. It’s possible the app stops timing if the phone/tablet goes to sleep.

Exactly what I was looking for!

Great app

School Teacher

This is such a simple idea that is something I have truly being missing in my PE classes. It’s incredible and the students love it.

No comment - just want the submit review window to disappear

Response from developer

Fair call — that prompt shouldn’t have been so hard to close, and we’ve fixed it. If the app’s been useful to you, we’d really appreciate an updated rating. Thanks for letting us know.

QR codes don’t work

The QR codes do not work. You can’t print out the codes correctly and the camera does not recognize the code.

Response from developer

Thanks for the review. There was a bug impacting version 4.0 of the app, this is now resolved the latest version and QR codes are working well. Have a try again
